President Donald Trump told NBC News in an interview Saturday that he would not fire anyone involved in the Signal group chat where military attack plans were inadvertently divulged to a journalist, and later added he couldnt care less if automakers raised prices due to new tariffs.In the wide-ranging interview, Trump also discussed his commitment to annexing Greenland and reiterated that a military option was not off the table.Following a week of headlines about Signal, tariffs and Greenland, the president waved off concerns that his agenda is causing volatility on Wall Street or decreasing consumer confidence, pointing to polling that shows that the share of Americans who believe the country is on the right track is at record highs.What I see is right track, wrong track. And the right track was the first time in like 40 years where it was right track, the president said, at one point putting Alexander Stubb, the president of Finland, on the phone as well. The two men were golfing in Florida on Saturday.More from Trumps interview with NBC News:No concern if automakers raise their pricesThe president said he couldnt care less if automakers raised prices after he announced he would impose 25% tariffs on all foreign-made automobiles.Asked what his recent message was to motor industry CEOs, and whether he had warned them against raising prices, Trump said, The message is congratulations, if you make your car in the United States, youre going to make a lot of money. If you dont, youre going to have to probably come to the United States, because if you make your car in the United States, there is no tariff.When pressed if he told CEOs not to raise prices, as reported in the The Wall Street Journal, Trump added, No, I never said that. I couldnt care less if they raise prices, because people are going to start buying American-made cars.Trump continued, I couldnt care less. I hope they raise their prices, because if they do, people are gonna buy American-made cars. We have plenty.Asked if he was concerned about car prices going up, Trump said, No, I couldnt care less, because if the prices on foreign cars go up, theyre going to buy American cars.After the interview, an aide to the president followed up with NBC News to say that Trump was referring specifically to foreign car prices.NBC News reported earlier this week that foreign auto parts would also be taxed at 25% even if the vehicles they go into are assembled domestically. Companies that import vehicles under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) will get special consideration until the government establishes a process for levying the 25% duties, according to the White House.Until that time, USMCA-compliant auto parts will remain tariff-free.The president also said the tariffs would be permanent.Absolutely, theyre permanent, sure. The world has been ripping off the United States for the last 40 years and more. And all were doing is being fair, and frankly, Im being very generous, Trump said.Trumps tariff announcement on Wednesday came justIn remarks on Thursday, Carney told reporters the tariffs were unjustified and that the old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over.Trump on Saturday maintained that he does not plan to further delay the imposition of the April 2 tariffs, and he would consider negotiating on that point only if people are willing to give us something of great value. Because countries have things of great value, otherwise, theres no room for negotiation.Signal incidentTrump said he has no plans to fire anyone following news that national security adviser Michael Waltz added a journalist to a Signal app group chat with senior members of the Trump administration who were discussing plans to strike Houthi militants in Yemen earlier this month.I dont fire people because of fake news and because of witch hunts, Trump said, calling the story fake news throughout the interview.I do, the president said when asked whether he still has confidence in Waltz and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who was also in the Signal chat and sent a detailed timeline of the planned strikes before they happened.I think its just a witch hunt and the fake news, like you, talk about it all the time, but its just a witch hunt, and it shouldnt be talked [about], Trump added. We had a tremendously successful strike. We struck very hard and very lethal. And nobody wants to talk about that. All they want to talk about is nonsense. Its fake news.Trumps comments come as he has faced calls including from his allies to fire Waltz after The Atlantics editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg wrote on Monday that he had been added to a chat group on a private messaging app with senior administration officials.In the chat, the officials appeared to repeatedly claimed were not classified.I have no idea what Signal is. I dont care what Signal is, Trump said on Saturday. All I can tell you is its just a witch hunt, and its the only thing the press wants to talk about, because you have nothing else to talk about. Because its been the greatest 100-day presidency in the history of our country.Everything is on the table to obtain GreenlandThe president on Saturday also said he has absolutely had real conversations about annexing Greenland, which is currently a semiautonomous Danish territory.Well get Greenland. Yeah, 100%, Trump said.He added that theres a good possibility that we could do it without military force but that I dont take anything off the table.This comes one day after Vice President JD Vance visited Greenland with his wife, Usha, and spoke to service members at Pituffik Space Base, a U.S. Space Force base on the northwestern coast of Greenland.While there, Vance said, Our message to Denmark is very simple you have not done a good job by the people of Greenland.Asked what message acquiring Greenland would send to Russia and the rest of the world, Trump said, I dont really think about that. I dont really care. Greenlands a very separate subject, very different. Its international peace. Its international security and strength.You have ships sailing outside Greenland from Russia, from China and from many other places. And were not going to allow things to happen that are going to be that are going to hurt the world or the United States, he added.Clarification: This article was updated to reflect that after the interview, an aide to Trump followed up with NBC News to say that Trump was referring to foreign car prices.
